That link mentions that gentoo lacks a man page for localdef(1), not
to mention one for locale(7).

Other dists have these man pages.  Debian in general requires a man
page for every command, et al.

Gentoo should start a policy to also require man pages.  Most of the
work is already done:  grab the pages from the debs and/or rpms.
(More precisely from the sources for the debs and rpms.)

Clearly the licensing permits such cross-pollination.  Take advantage
of it.

P.S.  Wierd!  ispell -- even though as installed here is older than
      gentoo -- recognized gentoo as spelled correctly, but did not
      recognize debian....  Nor does it recognize redhat or suse. :-)
